Benjamin
is also a husband, a father of four, and he currently serves as the North Carolina Writers
Network-West Swain County representative. In this position, he holds a monthly free meeting for writers and poets, open to the public, in Bryson City, North Carolina.
–Pat Riviere-Seel, author of Nothing Below but Air & The Serial Killer’s Daughter says of Ben's poetry book, "At the heart of this collection are relationships in all their complexity – family, friends, students, and the natural world, especially our relationships with the nonhuman creatures. One poem concludes that a turkey vulture is “…not so different / from the rest of us / with your belly full of dead things / and your endless hungry search.” These poems may be an “endless hungry search,” but the reader will come away sated.
Ben will be in Hayesville,NC on Friday evening, July 26, at the Corner Coffee Shop on the square with Brent Martin, naturalist, writer and owner of Alarka Expeditions. Ben will be interviewed and will share some of his work from his latest book.
When he’s not reading, writing, or playing with his
children, Benjamin can be found on the creeks and trails of his mountain
home. He loves the rivers and streams of the mountains.
His full-length poetry book, The
Geese Who Might be Gods, is available from Main Street Rag Publishing
Company (2019).
